Lynette, I'll have to double check, but I'm fairly certain that I didn't receive yours, so I'm thinking it got lost on its way over here. It's always a shame when that happens.

I'm popping your replacement in the post tomorrow morning ;-)

I received yours a few days ago, Lynette - beautiful!  Hopefully everyone received mine.  They went out December 10th.

Your envelope made it here, absolutely loved it. Thank you so much.

At least one of my envelopes didn't make it to it's recipient (yet?).  If anyone else on my list haven't received theirs by the end of next week, please send me a message, and I'll send out a replacement.

Erica, what are the rules/protocol, in case of envelopes that go missing in the mail? I've received confirmation from a number of people that received their envelopes, but I'm concerned that I'd be prevented from joining future exchanges on account of the odd envelope that might go missing (or taking an unscheduled scenic tour...)

I love everyone's ideas!

What about an ocean/mermaid/old-timey-sea-faring-ship exchange?!
Along those lines... What about a PIRATE-themed exchange?

Things I'd like to see on the list:

* Calligrapher's pets
* Butterflies/dragonflies/insects?
* something with a medieval flavour
* creating your own illustrated alphabet?

I use my fountain (and parallel) pens like dipping pens, I never use the cartridges, only the bottles of fountain pen ink. They suck up quite a bit of ink, so you don't need to load the pen as often as a dipping pen.

I haven't gotten a list that I can find. Have they been sent out and I just lost my email?

Erica will let us know via the forum, when the lists go out. It usually takes a few days, I would imagine it's a pretty big job sorting out our mailing lists ;-)
